The controller is wireless. Look at the second picture in the first post. You see the console (the USB-stick-looking thing), and the controller. They are separate. The controller is wireless. The stick plugs into the TV. The controller connects via Bluetooth.so let me get this straight you need to plug it into a hdmi slot and than hold it with the cord connected from the slot? that means you'll either need a very long hdmi cable or sit really close to the tv...
It's the same hardware, how would it be better? Do you dislike GameStick's controller?I probably would just buy one of these guys....

You would need to spend a bit more to get everything going but the results would probably be a bit better.
